How Many Shore Excursions are You Boooking?

Hey Ladies

How many shore excursions are you booking for your group and how many days is your cruise? Our cruise is an 8 day Caribbean cruise that visits five islands and I technically have only booked (well my wc is booking it) one tour and that is in St Thomas. It will occur immediately after the wedding. But I was thinking I should book at least one more tour/excursion on another island. We are in PR the night before the wedding so we plan to go clubbing as the bachelor/bachelorette party and I really want to spend the day in Antigua with my new husband. But I could schedule something for Tortola or Nassau. But I kinda wanted people to choose the excursions that they wanted to do on their own. Maybe I could choose a day that we're on an island for a while so we could do the group thing early then ppl can have time fore themselves. What do you all think? Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

My cruise brides tend to do one event as their bachelor/bachelorette parties (either on or off the ship) and then just one big excursion together. If time permits. On an 8 day cruise, you've got plenty of time. I wouldn't suggest doing any more as people will want time to enjoy their vacation their own way too.

 

What you can maybe do one night is bring it up at dinner "so what's everyone doing in Nassau" on thursday? And see if people want to do something together. That way not everyone will feel obligated to go (even if they don't want to), but will also feel included if they do want to.

 

In all my travels with groups I've enjoyed it most when we all do one, maybe two things together and then go our own way the rest of the time. Each night at dinner we then sit around laughing and telling stories about what we did that day.

Don't feel bad.

 

The way I see it is, they're already putting out x amount of dollars to come see us get married, we shouldn't occupy all of there time. It is a vacation also for them. I know most if not all of my guests are using this as there vacation for the year.

My issue was that since they are putting out soo much $ to come to my wedding the least I could was pay for a excursionshuh.gif? But I'm paying for a tour after the wedding the wil be over $1000 based on how many ppl we have so that'll have to suffice. I love this site bc I can discuss things with you guys that I would never bring up to my bridal party or family lol, and everyone on here understands where I'm coming from.

Thanks everyone

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
